That weekend, the popular Christmas in the Village event will take place. It will be on Friday and Saturday evenings, December 11 and 12 from 5 to 9 p.m.

Businesses are encouraged to be a sponsor. There are limited opportunities this year as La Mesa Boulevard will be open to traffic but expect to still be entertained with the Salvation Army band, Santa, jugglers, Christmas movies, Carolers, and a giant Christmas tree. Shops will be decked out in their finest attire.
